Don't panic just yet. Its not dead (well, hopefully). I'm pretty sure that just means it can't boot into the OS, and you will need to reflash it with a computer using the appropriate utility.
Although to make sure, when you turn the phone on, make sure to hold both the volume up and down while holding power. This should bring up a menu of sorts aka fastboot mode. Does this come up at all?

What happens when you pull the battery, then replace battery, then press and hold volume up + volume down + power button all at the same time?

also more than likely its not dead. Worse case scenario you reflash the stock image in ADB. Takes 15 minutes.

remove the battery, and put it back in, hold vol down and power at the same time. does it boot to the bootloader? (do you know what the bootloader is?)

The exact same thing happened to me when I tried to change fonts. I pulled the battery, held the power button down for 30 seconds, put the battery back in, then held the power and volume down buttons at the same time, booted into recovery and flashed my last backup. Problem solved.
